A 32-year-old man was recently arrested by the Katlehong police for being in possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle.
Officers were alerted to the man’s whereabouts by a member of the community.
“The informant told police that the accused was at a local car wash with the allegedly stolen BMW,” said Capt Mega Ndobe, of the Ekurhuleni West cluster.
Officers rushed to the address where they found a man matching the description given, they then asked the driver for proof of ownership of the vehicle, which he did not have.
He was arrested and taken to the Katlehong Police Station.
